What do I do I have a squatter in my property?

The Government made squatting in a residential building a criminal offence under Section 144 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LAPOA). The police can remove squatters if the squatter:

  • Is in a residential building as a trespasser and entered as a trespasser.
  • Know, or ought to know, they are trespassing.
  • Is living in the building, or intends to live there, for any period of time.

However, squatters are also protected from threats and intimidation in the eviction process under The Protection From Eviction Act 1977. It is therefore vital that you take expert legal advice in any trespass case involving squatters to make sure they are not evicted unlawfully as a result of harassment or intimidation.

What do I do if there are travelers on my land?

If travelers are trespassing on your land our expert trespass solicitors can apply to the court for a Possession Order. A Possession Order is an order from the court that compels the travelers to leave. If they don’t then we can enforce the Possession Order. To enforce a Possession Order we can apply to the High Court on your behalf for a Warrant of Possession (also known as a Writ of Possession). Using this process, a certified High Court Bailiff will then evict the travelers for you.

Even if you do not know the identities of the people occupying your land, our expert solicitors can help you start a claim against ‘persons unknown’. We will arrange for an agent to serve the claim on them, and we will also represent you during any court proceedings. We will fight your corner throughout the whole process.

Trespass and Boundary Disputes.

If you are involved in a boundary dispute with your neighbour, then they may be trespassing on your land. In such cases our expert trespass solicitors can help determine whether they are trespassing. If they are we can apply to the court for both an injunction (to stop your neighbour from trespassing on your land) and damages to compensate you for any financial loss caused because of the trespass. We can provide you with an estimate of your financial loss which would be based on any fall in value of your property, or any physical damage caused to your property.

Whichever funding route you choose, you can rest assure that our experienced solicitors will always do their utmost to keep costs as low as possible.
